It's ground zero in Primera D Metropolitana - the first game of the season. Read the full preview and see how Lugano and Deportivo Paraguayo did in their pre-season friendlies!
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
